Perforation after intestinal polyp surgery, called delayed perforation, most often occurs within 24 h after surgery, and the overall probability of occurrence is low under the current relatively high level of medical care and mature technology.
Perforation due to colon polypectomy often occurs in wide-based polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal stripping, often found during the operation, the use of hemostatic clips to clip the rupture, and can be cured.
According to previous studies, the probability of perforation after intestinal polyp surgery is between 0.2 and 1%, and it often occurs within 24 h after surgery. Clinically, it is often manifested as sudden abdominal pain, which is persistent and aggravated by activity, with active bowel sounds on auscultation. For delayed perforation, surgery is usually used.
Delayed perforation due to surgery for intestinal polyps is rare, and it is recommended to standardize the treatment under medical evaluation.
